CHICAGO, June bow. j. Gillespie.
a native of Chicago, who for the last
two years has worked in responsible
position on the Panama Canal, ar
rived here from Panama Saturday
He is in the employ of the American
Breeding Company, which is working
on the canal
There are from $4,000 to 1000 men
altogether at work on the canal at
present" said Mr.. Gillespie, "but if
the canal company does not soon get
another loan the work cannot go on
much longer. There has been the
grossest encouragement in every
direction. The part of the canal that
have been excavated have been al
lowed to fill up with clay washed
down by one Of the rivers, so that
most of the work had to be done
twice. Immense quantities of useless
machinery, made principally IN Bel
GUM, are smewn all along the route,
wing idle and rusting In some
places the line of the canal has been
changed after being cut. so that
new cutting had to be made to fill in
the old one. There is much mis-
management IN every direction, and
such a general sip-shod way Of carry
ing on the business that if they had
all the money they wanted, | don't |
believe they could have the canal |
finished for ten years.
